Books Signed by Mary Adams

Mary Adams defies classification as a poet. Yes, she is a formalist, one of the best writing in America today, but she is also a poet of surprising and sometimes disconcerting wit and erudition that give her poetry a memorable texture. I have known Mary ever since she came to teach in Western Carolina University's English department. She is one of the most verbally gifted writers I've ever met, and I am always dazzled by the way she makes language come alive. When Dana Gioia telephoned her with the good news that she had just been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Poetry, we all celebrated. Mary is a poet who deserves a much wider audience.
